> Gabay sa apostille para sa British Columbia, Canada: ang nararapat na awtoridad ay ang Ministry of Attorney General of British Columbia. Na-verify noong 2026-08-09.

Ang lahat ng nasa ibaba ay hango mula sa mga opisyal na pinagmulang inilathala ng opisinang ito mismo, at isinulat gamit ang sarili nitong mga salita. Ang halagang hindi namin nakumpirma laban sa isang opisyal na pahina ay may markang "hindi pa na-verify" — ngunit ang kawalan ng markang iyon ay hindi garantiya na na-check na ang isang katotohanan, at ang sariling pag-aalinlangan ng pinagmulan ay nananatili sa mga tala na muling isinulat dito nang salita-sa-salita. Kumpirmahin ang mga bayad, address, at deadline sa opisina bago magpadala ng mga dokumento o pera.

- **Gabay sa Apostille:** British Columbia, Canada
- **Na-verify noong** August 9, 2026

## Sino ang nagbibigay ng apostille

Ministry of Attorney General of British Columbia

Administered by the Order in Council (OIC) Administration Office, "BC Authentication Program." Covers "B.C. public documents, submitted in the format required, for use outside Canada" and "certain federal Canadian public documents that have been notarized in B.C." Verifies signatures/seals of BC officials, lawyers and notaries. Cannot authenticate foreign documents; non-BC Canadian documents are referred to Global Affairs Canada or the issuing province

## Aling mga Dokumento ang Tinatanggap ng Opisinang Ito

- **Mula sa pinagmulan:** Depends on document type — some documents must be notarized by a B.C. Notary Public or lawyer first; "Some types of public documents should not be notarized before authentication" (e.g., vital statistics originals are authenticated directly). Non-English content requires translation per BC's translation requirements. Since Dec 18, 2023, every request must identify the destination country per document. No ID required from the applicant. Apostille attached to all documents authenticated in B.C. on or after Jan 11, 2024

## Mga Sertipikasyong Maaaring Kailanganin Muna

Walang dagdag na hakbang ng sertipikasyon na kailangan bago ang apostille.

## Ang Form ng Kahilingan

Walang papel na form: isinusumite ang kahilingan sa pamamagitan ng online portal. Saan Makukuha: https://pay.gov.bc.ca/public/lsb/bcDocAuthRequest B.C. Document Authentication Request form (same PayBC URL as the online request)

## Paghiling Online

Bahagi ng kahilingan ay ginagawa online; ang mga dokumento mismo ay kailangan pa ring umabot sa opisina sa papel. Saan: https://pay.gov.bc.ca/public/lsb/bcDocAuthRequest Online request form + payment (documents still sent by mail/courier); must be completed on desktop, not mobile

## Magkano ang Gastos

- **$20.00 CAD** kada dokumento — "There is a standard $20 fee for each document authentication"

## Paano Magbayad

- **Sa koreo:** money order, cashier's check, o tseke
- **Online:** pagbabayad gamit ang card

- Online via PayBC form (Mastercard, Debit Mastercard, Visa, Visa Debit, American Express); by mail: money order, bank draft, personal or business cheque (CAD or USD) payable to "Minister of Finance"

## Saan Ipadadala ang Inyong mga Dokumento

- **Mula sa pinagmulan:** HCCH lists a PO Box 9280 Stn Prov Govt variant

## Gaano Katagal

- **Sa koreo:** "2 to 4 weeks, not including mail time" (current published estimate)
- Kasama na ang bayad sa pagpapadala pabalik.
- Fee includes return by regular Canada Post; courier return requires prepaid arrangements

## Checking status and verifying an apostille

- **I-verify ang Isang Inilabas na Apostille:** https://apostille-gac.powerappsportals.com/en/eregister-eregistre/ — BC apostilles verifiable via the shared GAC tool (covers GAC, AB, SK, BC). No separate BC-run register found

## Serbisyong Notarial Online na Malayuan (Remote Online Notarization)

- Pinapahintulutan dito ang remote online notarization.
- **Legal na Batayan:** No BC statute expressly authorizes remote notarial certificates. Two pillars: (1) Attorney General's "Direction to Commissioners for Taking Affidavits" (originally COVID-19) — remote commissioning per the BC Courts' remote-commissioning direction; "The Provincial State of Emergency for COVID-19 ended... June 30, 2021. The direction continues until further notice" (page last updated Nov 26, 2025 — still active, no rescission). (2) Law Society of BC Code of Professional Conduct, Appendix A (annotated) — remote commissioning provisions added July 2024, amended Nov 2024 (permanent professional-conduct basis for lawyers)
- **Paano Kinikilala ang Lumagda:** LSBC Appendix A, verbatim: "the deponent must show the lawyer the front and back of the deponent's valid and current government-issued photo identification"; "The lawyer must compare the video image of the deponent and information in the deponent's government-issued photo identity document to be reasonably satisfied." No KBA
- Walang nakatalang pinakamataas na bayad dito para sa isang aktong notarial na malayuan. Ang kawalan ng limitasyon ay hindi katumbas ng “walang limitasyon” — nasa mga tala sa ibaba ang dahilan.
- **Mula sa pinagmulan:** Permitted, ongoing (no sunset) but framed as guidance rather than statute. LSBC Appendix A: "a lawyer may discharge the lawyer's ethical and professional obligations regarding commissioning an affidavit or solemn declaration where the lawyer and deponent are not physically together through the use of electronic and video technology." Affidavit must include a paragraph "describing that the deponent was not physically present before the lawyer as commissioner, but was in the lawyer's electronic presence linked with the lawyer utilizing video technology." Commissioner must "confirm that the recipient of the affidavit or declaration will accept a document that has been commissioned remotely." BC Land Title & Survey Authority separately allows remote witnessing of land title affidavits (Practice Bulletin 01-20, 2020). Who can do it: commissioners for taking affidavits (Evidence Act s. 56 appointees; lawyers and BC notaries are commissioners), BC notaries public (Society of Notaries Public of BC members), lawyers. Fee rules: no statutory cap; BC notaries set their own fees (Society publishes no mandatory tariff). Market rate (as of Aug 2026): Canada Notary (canadanotary.ca) offers BC virtual commissioning of affidavits/statutory declarations via video (fee via calculator). Apostille interplay: GAC and provincial competent authorities require original/wet-ink signatures and seals — remotely executed, purely electronic notarizations are generally unusable for apostille unless printed/wet-signed by the commissioner

## Iba Pang Sinasabi ng Pinagmulan

In-person offices: none. "All authentication requests must be sent by mail or by courier." "Rush, walk-in, drop off and while-you-wait services are not available."

> **RCW 42.45.230(5):** Hindi ako abogado na lisensyadong magpraktis ng batas sa estadong ito. Hindi ako pinahihintulutang gumawa ng mga legal na dokumento, magbigay ng payo sa mga usaping legal, kabilang ang imigrasyon, o maningil ng bayad para sa mga gawaing iyon.
